BOFA(Bank of America) is making headlines all over the gold news community with its recent bold statement on the future pricing of gold. In a recent statement Bank of America predicted that the price of gold would rise up to $2000 dollars per ounce, but would maintain its position in the area from $1500-$2000 per ounce. With BOFA’s prediction, the price of gold would sustain at this maximum level of $2000 for the next five years.

Reuters, one of the most respected publishers of breaking news in the Business and Financial markets both US and International, reports the following statement from BOFA:

"We look at supply and demand balances required to clear the gold market under three average price scenarios (i.e. $1,000/oz, $1,500/oz and $2,000/oz over the coming five years)."

Whether or not the price of gold will stay under $2000 an ounce during a five year time limit is surely up to debate, however gold owners and investors can be fairly confident that the price of gold will at the very least reach the $2000 dollar floor by 2015. From 2010 to 2011 gold saw a jump of $300 dollars that put gold into the record breaking price of $1500+ an ounce. Over the past 5 years, goldprice.org reports that gold has already jumped $962 an ounce. If history is to repeat itself, the price of gold may surprise BOFA, gold investors, and private gold owners, rising to new record breaking levels.

Sell Gold....Banks Buying?

An article on Monday in Reuters indicated that the private banks will be the next big buyers of gold, and the price will continue to increase.

Bullion bars have gained a significant amount of popularity. Bullion bars, that have been sold off during stronger economic times are now being sought-after by banks. The Chairman of the London Bullion Market Association has predicted that fewer banks will be selling off gold reserves until the market stabilizes.

Owning gold again has become a trend – in jewelry, collectible coins, and bullion bars. The bullion bars and many gold bullion coins were sold off during the 1980s and 90s, while the international economy was in a better situation. Gold as a hedge against inflation has made the metal appealing once-again during the financial crisis.

In related notes, the U.S. mint has suspended sales of the 24 karat American Buffalo, as supplies have been depleted. This latest shortage follows the suspension of the American Eagle earlier this year.

Gold reached a record high in mid-March of $1,030.80 an ounce. Bookmark our site at www.cash4gold.com to see updated gold prices, the prices we pay, and the Cash4Gold process!
